Two muskrat brothers become displaced due to a storm and end up in a lady’s backyard. They make a big mess back there, and the lady decides it’s time for them to go. She calls a pest control company who comes and sets traps to catch them. He catches one of the muskrats and relocates him in a forest near a pond. He and his brother had never been apart before, and now he was all alone in an unfamiliar place. Some other animals approached him while he was drinking from the pond. They had never seen a muskrat before and were not as welcoming as he would have liked—until the muskrat proved himself worthy of living there by helping the animals defeat a dangerous foe. The other animals realized that he had some unique qualities and skills and did in fact belong at the pond, and they became friends. And someone special may have rejoined the muskrat to make for a happy ending.

The
story is about ten bees bullying one another while flying around in Mrs. Busys
classroom. The ten bees are buzzing very loud, shouting at one another,
crashing into one another, pushing, shoving, trying to sting the children, and
flying around the classroom while Mrs. Busy is teaching. These are not
acceptable behaviors. The bees are being rude and are trying to bully one
another. All of a sudden, the bees decide being bullies is wrong. Being bullies
to one another is not the correct thing to do. The bees decide to be kind, use
kind language to one another, use good manners, be polite, and set a good
example for the children. Being bullies set a bad example for the children.
Mrs. Busy tells the children to behave nicely to one another. She tells the
children they should not push, hurt, shove, or bully one another. They need to
be thoughtful, kind, and say Excuse me or Im sorry. Being a bully is not the
correct behavior either in school or outside of school or anywhere. Mrs. Busy
tells the children to do their best in school and play together nicely as
bullying hurts the feelings of others. Mrs. Busy lets the children know they
should use only kind words and their indoor voices, they should be good
listeners, and they should not punch, kick, shove, hit, spit, and grab one
another. Bullying hurts others. The ten bees were wrong to hurt one another. No
bullying! Bullying others is not an acceptable behavior. Bullying hurts!
